We could’ve won if we had taken those two field goals on forth down. That last drive before the pick would’ve been the game winning kick, FUUUUUCCKKKK
The problem with this line of thinking is you assume the game plays out exactly the same. There are too many variables. Carlson could've missed one. Carlson makes one or both, then kickoffs are involved. Field position is different. Both teams make play calling adjustments based on the score.
You’re right to question revisionist thinking but I wanted the FGs at the time of the game for a very logical reason in that our defense was playing better then the offense.
Additionally it’s not like we were on the 5 yard line. We had a ways to go. Take the fucking points when your defense is getting you the ball back over and over again
